Having good morals and choosing love over material wants is near to non existent. The 1920's was the time where morals and ethics didn't matter and materialism overcame love. Fitzgerald viewed the 1920's as a time where there was no ethical structure and love didn't really exist. He portrayed these beliefs through Nick, Daisy, and Tom. Nick was the worst of all of them, he saw so many unethical actions taking place with betrayal and infidelity and never once decided to stand up and say something, instead he decided to act as a wallflower and pretend to be in the dark. The day after he had dinner at Daisy and Tom's house and evidently discovered that Tom was having an affair, Tom took him to the city to meet the woman he was cheating on Daisy with and Nick described it as, "I went up to New York with Tom on the train one afternoon, and when we stopped by the ash-heaps he jumped to his feet and, taking hold of my elbow, literally forced me from the car. “We’re getting off,” he insisted. “I want you to meet my girl.”"(Fitzgerald 21). Nick never mentioned this to Daisy, he kept it to himself which is so morally wrong because he knew that Daisy had the right to know, even if she had already suspected it. Of course, Tom is to blame since he's the one with no moral direction with racist views, egoistic self views, and the total lack of respect for his wife since he decided on being unfaithful. This is huge, infidelity was considered sinful before that time and now it seems as though it's an every day thing, it's not as big as it was once before. Daisy though was not anyone to be complaining about infidelity since she too became unfaithful to her husband once Gatsby was re introduced in her life. When Gatsby came over for dinner and Tom had to step over to another room she came and she kissed him, "As he left the room again she got up and went over to Gatsby and pulled his face down, kissing him on the mouth" (Fitzgerald 85). Daisy was being bold by kissing her lover while knowing her husband was in the other room. Something like that would have never been done in a earlier time in history, she would have been a disgrace and embarrassment especially since she's a woman. But it's the 1920's so Nick and Jordan keep their mouths shut while they see how twisted the affairs of Daisy and Tom where. They, as husband and wife, had no respect for one another. Fitzgerald made it evident that the 1920's was a time where chivalry came to die and money was the only way to make a woman stay. Morals and ethics no longer influenced people's actions.
